The briefing

About this game

In Jotun: Valhalla Edition, Viking warrior Thora must prove herself to the Gods after an inglorious death and earn passage to Valhalla. Explore nine levels across five Norse-inspired realms, uncover hidden runes, and face colossal elemental jotun with a two-handed axe, evasive movement, and divine powers.

Search for Shrines to gain abilities such as thunderous hammers, razor-sharp spears, protection from Heimdall, and healing from Frigg. Apples from legendary trees increase Thora’s health, while Mimir wells restore her strength. On Wii U, the GamePad can be used to activate God Powers and view the map without pausing.

The game combines hand-drawn art, traditional animation, Icelandic voiceover, ambient sound, and an orchestral soundtrack inspired by Norse mythology. Valhalla Mode offers a tougher boss-rush challenge with a timer and performance measures including damage taken, God Powers used, and falls in battle.
